Connecting With A Loved Friend After Many Years

This is kind of part two. I originally started this topic hoping some feedback but it looks like that many are searching for answers and not questions.

Well how do we connect again?
It really is going to depend on "Why did you stop communicating with this person?" or "What caused this separation"?

Sometimes it could simply have been that you just stopped! And want to rekindle this friendship! This is kind of what happened to me. I remember these great friends and just stopped comunicating with them.
One might expect to be able to start where the friendship was left...but this doesn't always happen if not ever.
The friendship would have to be nurtured again if it is possible at all.  It is hard to grow a plant again after it has been dried up. Unless some of the roots are still alive and then it would create some hope!

But we go back to the same question? How to rekindle this friendship?

The only way to start is by getting in contact and I mean direct contact with this old friend!

I am kind of answering myself...but this is the reality. It is not going to happen by itself! You can start by emailing if you have this information. Initially it can be a casual email. And then you should follow up with various emails until you get to point.

Others might recommend not to cut and go around but to call the person directly and get the feeling of the environment.
Sometimes you will be surprised that your friend may have also been desiring to connect with you again. But you won't know if you don't contact them.

In other cases you might just get a cold voice indicating that the person is not really interested in connecting again.

No matter what happens...

You need to give the first step and contact that person!
